Today, football was cruel to FC Barcelona's Under-12 team.

The Blaugrana youngsters fell to RCD Espanyol, 2–1, in the last 16 of the Laliga Promises, held at Villarreal's training centre in Castellón, Spain.

The Catalans, thus, say goodbye to the tournament despite being one of the best teams there, as evidenced by their impeccable track record this season and their impressive play in the group stage, which took place on Friday.

But a pair of defensive errors cost them big time, and the tournament format, with games consisting of two 12-minute halves, has Barça looking uncomfortable out on the pitch.
